Constructing Better Health - The National Scheme for Occupational Health
within the Construction Industry

Clients

As a Client, commissioning construction projects, you play a pivotal role through your current contracts with Principal contractors to ensure that your projects fully meet the requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM).

The key question is, how do you ensure that Principal and all sub-contractors engaged in the supply chain on your projects are managing their operatives’ occupational health effectively?

Health & Safety is recognised in organisations of all sizes, however what is the balance in that of your construction supply chain? Chances are the ratio is 95% safety and 5% Health. The phrase Health & Safety is two key words and that’s how the balance should be 50/50. Of course no one wants accidents on site, these are instant and always make the headlines, however, work-related health issues are not so visible. There are many health risks that workers on your construction projects are potentially exposed to on a daily basis, and all employers in the supply chain have a duty of care to ensure that employees are fit for the task they are undertaking, which may include being in a programme of occupational health surveillance. This calls for a proven, robust management solution.
